FlatSix Posted 13August, 2013 Report Share Posted 13August, 2013 http://edition.cnn.com/2013/08/12/sport/motorsport/f1-back-to-the-future-turbo/index.html?c=&page=1 Have a read of this, maybe CNN should hire writers who have a clue. This is the paragraph that had me scratching my head... "While a standard engine is powered by a belt connected to the crankshaft, a turbo engine runs on its own exhaust steam, making it more energy efficient."

Uncle Posted 13August, 2013 Report Share Posted 13August, 2013 Indeed, throughout the 1980s, the powerful turbo was the F1 engine of choice, able to perform at high altitudes and grip onto steep angles. But along with the impressive new flame-spitting exhausts, came safety concerns. The turbo engine was unreliable, and increased temperatures also increased the risk of fire. LOL what?
